Struggling with Medication

I hate being on all this medication. I don't want to take anymore or be taken off anymore. I don't want to be my doctor's guinea pig.

my only recommendation for this one, is to take the genesight test. they take a swab in your cheek, & then send it off to a lab where, based on your genes, you’ll get a result of which antidepressants, anxiolytics, stimulants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, etc. will work best for you, & even which ones will produce more side effects or why they’re not as effective (i.e. serum level too low in smokers). based on your insurance, the cost will be different, but it’s promised that you’ll never pay more than $330 out of pocket. it’s been a wonderful tool when finding medications. you can do more research on their website as well. i hope this helps :)
